>The spark is gone but my players still want to play in my game
Should I tell them or should I suck it up? How can I reignite it?
GM burnout is a real thing. It happens to the best of us, and trying to force yourself to keep going only makes it more and more likely the game is just going to die completely.
Be honest with your players. Tell them that you're not feeling it and that you need a break, and discuss with them other options. Maybe one of them wants to run a oneshot or a short campaign, or maybe the whole group would be okay with taking a month break or so, giving you time to regenerate and reassess the situation.

WHY is the spark gone, though?
Is it your players?
Is it you?
And if it is you, are you sure you even like the hobby from the GM's side?
If it's neither, and it's the game, have you put thought into how you can reclaim what you enjoyed?

This guy knows what he's talking about.

I'd suggest trying to get someone else to run a short game and putting your current one on hold. Playing a game instead of running one is a great way to rebuild that urge to GM.
Scheduled reminder that Terranis Holds.

Your terranis is nothing but a lie monkeigh. Delude yourself however you wish, you will still scream for me.

You can do nothing to us, for we return. And we remember you.
So does the average human in 40k know of the Primarchs, the Horus Heresy and Traitor Marines. Or do they not?
I ask because I recently read ADBs Cadian Blood and Emperors Gift (I know, they're BL books, so I realise their canonicity is questionable at best, but still) and there seems to be some contradiction.

>Cadian protag and Inquisitor are at one point talking about the Horus Heresy (though admittedly they do not mention the Primarchs) and at no point does the Cadian express disbelief...

They are saints of cult imperialis
>the Horus Heresy
Hell no

Doubtfully. If there's no invasions of them why should citizens know that even empraz fynest can fall

Black library books are all over the place with the fluff, so you can find support for all sorts of nonsense in them if you try.
There is no "right" answer to this question, it just relies on what author you ask or what the writers feel like at the moment.

Considering the vast size of the Imperium, a lot of this probably depends on who you are and what sort of world you live on. If you live on Cadia and have to deal with Abbadon and his shit or if you live on some sort of Administratum hub where there's a lot of awareness of galactic events/politics, I imagine you probably know of the basics. But if you're toiling in some forge world manufactorum or farming on an agri-world, you probably don't know dick about the terrors that lurk beyond, including...

Hey /tg/ trying this thread again today, as yesterday I got barely any feedback. I've been into tabletop games for a few years now, and though I've always been interested in wargames, I've always been intimidated by the sheer volume, and price tags associated with them. If possible could you kind anons help recommend me a good wargame? If possible I'd like the wargame to contribute to some larger campaign or narrative rather than just being isolated "dudes fighting each other".
Secondly I'd like to be able to play an army with an undead/necromancer feel, use the dead of my opponents against them, recycle my own soldiers, etc.
And thirdly I'd like for it to not be too expensive (no more than 250 investment preferably)... I know that's probably a lot to ask, but I really would love to get into wargaming and make some friends, but I dont know where to start and I'd appreciate /tg/'s help

Age of Sigmar actually fits what you are looking for. Your dudes aren't isolated since it's possible to travel in and in between different gigantic realms.
And for playing undeads just buy a box of zombies and a necromancer. They do not cost that much in the long run.
>>47853900
Warhammer rules are great, age of Sigmar is sort of meh in my opinion but works too. Go with the undead or vampire counts army or whatever the fuck their name is now days, you get to run necromancers that can reinforce or summon up zombie/skeleton units in battle by raising the dead.
If the price of models is an issue (plus gw zombies suck) look at kings of war models instead for your rank and file, just use gw shit for hero or important units. Loads of campaign material is available for warhammer and you...

Frostgrave is what you're looking for. A cheap campaign driven fantasy skirmish AND it is all the hype right now, so you will actually find players for it. In short: you have a little warband lead by a wizard and they search a lost city for magic stuff. I never played it myself, but afaik your wizard can be a necromancer.
AoS is not what you're looking for imo. I don't even hate the game, but if you're put off by expensive models/armies, that is the first problem. 2nd is, that right now it...
